This thing turns awful in coffee: yes, the vanilla aroma is nice, but it's not very sweet and 3 drops already turn the whole cup awfully bitter. What a shame.

Strong aftertaste :(

I had really high hopes for this product! Most reviews are really positive so I had high expectations but the aftertaste is really really strong! The aftertaste is stronger than the sweetness. I tried it in milk and yoghurt but it was not tasty! The vanilla is really nice though!

I thought this vanilla creme was going to be delicious from the reviews posted here. I must be a supertaster because to me and my family it tasted horrible. With a terrible aftertaste too.

Wasn't too fond of this
Reviewer2849284发表于 Jul 28, 2010
This has a bitter unpleasant flavor mainly due to the alcohol. I won't buy this again.

Dripfed drops in at Blast-O-Mat on March 20
To a lot of people with mostly mainstream sensibilities and cultural affiliations, grindcore, crust and death metal will always just sound like a bunch of noise with terrible vocals. But a band like Dripfed -- and most of the acts that probably inspired it -- found that a splintery guitar sound mixed with a savage, breakneck pace and animalistic vocals reflected the anomie of modern society and the hurried way in which we're all supposed to increase our efficiency to serve the monolithic corporate machine better than some over-processed pop ditty. What does Dripfed (due Tuesday, March 20, at Blast-O-Mat) bring to the equation to set itself apart? An engrossing dynamism whose quiet moments of focused intensity give the rest of the brutality contrast and a deeper emotional impact.

NEWELL - They've come from as far away as Pipestem, near the southern tip of West Virginia.
K-9 units - police dogs and their handlers - from all over the state converged on Hancock County on Sunday for the start of the 20th annual West Virginia Police Canine Association training seminar.
The statewide convention is being held at Tomlinson Run State Park and sites in New Manchester and Newell, registering an estimated 67 K-9 units from Huntington, Charleston and beyond. Nearby units from East Liverpool, Weirton, New Cumberland and St. Clair Township also are taking advantage of the training.

STRETCHING THEIR LEGS — Patrolman 1st Class Jason Smith of the Huntington Police Department keeps his bloodhound, Copper, and English springer spaniel, Duke, close by on Sunday soon after arriving at the Holiday Inn Express in Newell. K-9 units from across West Virginia are in Hancock County this week for a major training seminar. -- Stephen Huba
"It's a major turnout for us. We're very happy about it," said Hancock County Sheriff's Deputy 1st Class Scott Little, supervisor of the Hancock County K-9 Unit.
"All our planning is done, so now it's time to put it into action," Little said Sunday outside the Holiday Inn Express in Newell, where most of the conference participants are staying.
The motel's parking lot filled up with police vehicles from Barboursville, Cabell County, Huntington, and Fayette County as Sunday afternoon wore on. Most of the highly trained dogs are being kept in the rooms or in portable kennels.
Cpl. Dennis Ray of the Cabell County Sheriff's Department exercised his German shepherd, Boss, soon after arriving. Three K-9 units from Cabell County will be here through the convention's conclusion on Thursday.
Ray said this is the first time he's traveled to the Northern Panhandle.
"It's a little different," he said.
Patrolman 1st Class Jason Smith of the Huntington Police Department traveled four hours to get to Newell on Sunday.
"I've been through here once before when I was on my way to Pittsburgh," he said.
Smith is here for training with his bloodhound, Copper, and his English springer spaniel, Duke. The bloodhound specializes in tracking, and the spaniel specializes in narcotics detection, he said.
The convention is necessary for K-9 units in West Virginia to be certified or get their annual recertification, Little said.
County officials also see it as an opportunity to show off Northern Panhandle hospitality and amenities.
"A conference like that is going to bring a lot of people in," said Dan Greathouse, director of the Top of West Virginia Convention & Visitors Bureau. "There's an economic impact for the restaurants, hotels and grocery stores - for things like dog food."
Greathouse said Hancock County is not inexperienced when it comes to conventions. It previously has hosted statewide meetings of county commissioners, county assessors, county clerks and tourism officials, he said.
Despite hopes for a boost to Hancock County's economy, the law enforcement officers attending the convention will be here mostly to work.
The major certification days are today and Tuesday, with training sessions scheduled for narcotics, explosives, patrol and tracking work. Five WVPCA master trainers are on hand, as are two trainers from Battle Born K9, a police dog training school based in Las Vegas, Nev.
Among the participating dogs are bloodhounds from the West Virginia Division of Forestry in Pipestem, as well as narcotics, tracking, bomb-sniffing and patrol dogs from city police departments and county sheriff's departments across the state, Little said.
Although most of the seminar will be held at Tomlinson Run State Park, indoor training will be held at the former Jefferson Elementary School and the former C. Hackett Chrysler Dodge Jeep dealership, both in Newell.
The public will have a chance to see the dogs during a special demonstration from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday at Tomlinson Run. The demonstration will include narcotics, apprehension and vehicle extraction scenarios, Little said.
Visitors are asked not to bring their own dogs and are encouraged to park at the Tomlinson Run mini-golf course. Shuttle service to the demonstration site near the park swimming pool will be provided.

Zombie Banks
How Broken Banks and Debtor Nations Are Crippling the Global Economy
"The title is worthy of a B movie, but it's also apt.Bloomberg News reporter Yalman Onaran, supported by former U.S.Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. chief Sheila Bair - who provides aforeword and numerous interviews - urge that insolvent banks bothsmall and too big to fail be allowed to do precisely that. Reading bank balance sheets is not everyone's idea of a goodtime. But Mr. Onaran, with support from Ms. Bair, does the choreand explains what it means. Mr. Onaran shows that the processof rescuing dead and dying banks is increasing systemic risk in theglobal banking system. And that is really more frightening thanscream flicks from Tinseltown." -- FinancialPost
"Yalman Onaran knows of putrid financial institutions,having written about them in his native Turkey so successfully hebrought down a few in Istanbul in the late '90's." --Huffington Post
"Do We Love Zombie Banks? The new book by Yalman Onaran ofBloomberg News, Zombie Banks: How Broken Banks and DebtorNations Are Crippling the Global Economy, is a well-organizedand clearly written discussion of the use of leverage to providegrowth in many different economies. Onaran has carefully researchedthe zombie phenomenon and makes some important points in thisconcise volume about both public policy and the concerns ofinvestors. One of the more interesting early threads in the book isthe juxtaposition of the experience of the US in the S&L crisisand Japan in the 1980s and 1990s with the US today. ZombieBanks is a good review of the latest thinking about the ebb andflow of the political economy." -- R. ChristopherWhalen, author of Inflated
Zombie banking has become standard operating procedure for bigdebtor nations. They prop up failing institutions, print money, andavoid financial corrections. But in an attempt to prolong theinevitable, bigger problems are created. The approach used now hasnot, and will not, work. This timely book reveals why. ZombieBanks tells the story of how debtor nations and failinginstitutions are damaging the long-term prospects of the globaleconomy.
Author Yalman Onaran, a veteran Bloomberg News reporter andfinancial banking sector expert, examines exactly what a zombiebank is and why they are kept alive. He also discusses how theyhurt economic recovery and what needs to be done in order torestore stability. Along the way, Onaran takes an honest look athow we arrived at this point and details the harsh realities thatmust be faced, and the serious steps that must be taken, in orderto get things headed in the right direction.
- Puts insolvent banks and debtor nations in the spotlight andexamines how they are crippling the global economy
- On the record sources include Paul Volcker, Joseph Stiglitz,Sheila Bair, and many more bank executives, regulators,politicians, and policymakers in the United States and abroad
- Takes the complexity of the current situation and translates itin a way that makes it understandable
While the short-term measures taken to stave off depression andrejuvenate economic growth may offer hope, they are unsustainableover the long term. Get a better look at what really lies ahead,and what it will take to improve our economic situation, with thisbook.

I suspect that this entry might not attract quite so much interest as yesterday's shot which, I have to say, was an entry born of desperation rather than anything else. I'd spent all week trying to take a decent self-portrait – and had totally failed to come up with anything. That said, I do like it, but it attracted way more interest than I thought it would. And I have to say that I do recommend it – there's something quite pleasant about a string of 'nice arse' comments ;-)
As for today's shot: I really don't have anything to say about it – it caught my eye, I photographed it, and erm … cheated a bit in Photoshop. But, as happens every once in a while, I've got nothing else to put up so it will have to do :-/

Released: Nov 01st, 2006
Running Time: 95
Director: Peter Wall
Companies: Pure Play Media, The Score Group
Mandy Casa, Nikki (I), Sweety (I), Paige Plenty, Others, Samantha (I), Denise Davies, Lulu (I)
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
While no extraordinary XL humping occurs, this big babe bonanza delivers enough audience pleasing antics to guarantee satisfaction from BBW fans. Worm's eye shots of tantalizing melons dangling just out of reach from the viewers' faces bring an added dimension to the top-heavy proceedings; while POV cleavage glazing caps each mountainous peak.
Of course the action remains solidly boob-centric, but that doesn't stop Wall from tapping a smidgen of butt fetish when Nikki magically makes a disappearing act out of a beaded string. Mandy Casa's lotion-rubbing routine is also worth noting.
Retailing: Denise Davies appears again (in the bonus scene).

girl it's never not hard. ur a tough piece of pizza tho.
Log in to replyI LIKE YOUR COMMENT A LOT
…that is all.
Log in to replyruby, the ending to that journal entry is perfect. sometimes little kids know just what to say, and I'm sure you'll think back to that whenever you miss your mum <3
Log in to replyKatherine… you are me. I seriously swear it. YOU. ARE. ME. I always hated it (and still do) when people tell me that. Sure, I'll think it's silly in five years, but that is no reason to think that it doesn't matter to me now. A few weeks ago at the very start of college I was absolutely miserable. I was really depressed for a few days and although I didn't actually think about wanting to kill myself, I wondered what would happen if I did. I felt like my life was over and I would never be happy again, because I had no friends or family near me and I had no friends at college, and I was alone and depressed all the time. I'm okay now. I made friends, and I'm okay. But just because I'm okay now or because I knew in the back of my mind then that I'd be okay now doesn't mean that I wasn't miserable as hell then. I probably did know in the back of my head that I'd be okay in a few weeks. But I was still miserable, because I wasn't okay NOW. I just hate getting told that I shouldn't worry about something because it won't matter in five years or even five days. The point is that it matters now, and I'm going to worry about it.
Log in to replyAlso… Ruby…. I love you…. <3
Log in to replyAll of these diaries were perfection of my lord.
Log in to replyNaomi, it's so nice to know that I'm not alone in feeling lost after recovering from something. For me it was depression, and I felt and still kind of feel lost and boring and normal and so tragically ok. It's like you get so used to using your problems to define yourself that once they're gone you just realize you have this big empty space left behind where YOU (i.e. your personality and things) are supposed to be. I thought it was just some weird thing that only I was going through because no one ever talks about that feeling, and I've tried to talk to a few people about it but no one seems to get it. So, thanks. It's nice to know it's not just me.
Log in to replyI agree. I have problems with both depression and anxiety, and the lack of those things in my life feels creepy and weird sometimes because I thought of that as normal for so long, and being a regular person feels fake because I still see the shadow of how I used to think and feel and act, etc. It feels fake to go to school, and form non-intense friendships with people, to go to football games, and not cry, and turn in homework, and eat normal meals without freaking out about them. It feels like I'm playing the role of someone else, but that I'll be stuck in it forever and I don't know how to become comfortable with it.
It is really nice to hear other people describe dealing with this.
So Ruby being a fan of theater are you ever tempted to call her MISS Siagon, haha.
Log in to replyRuby, I love babysitting, whomever the child, but when you get a great one, it is something wonderful. I love when the child is so pure but also so complicated and clever and smart. Enjoy.
Log in to replyRuby – I have no idea what it's like to lose a parent, and I am so, so sorry you have had to experience that so young.
Naomi – I understand exactly what you mean. When I "recovered" from whateverthefuck they decided I had, it was so hard, because a huge part of me was based on feeling so shit. Even now, I panic because there isn't a way to explain how afraid I am of being "better", because if I'm well then I don't have any excuse to feel this way. I think sickness or mental illness or whatever takes over so much of your life, and it takes so much to try and overcome it, that you sort of forget who you were before. I don't think I'll ever remember- but that's OK, because I'm someone new now.
Log in to replyWhen little kids say stuff, I always feel like I should find a way to respond, but sometimes it's better to just let their words sink in. My friend has pink hair, and a little girl once said in passing, "That girl has tie-dyed hair! Cool!" and it was the most adorable thing ever. That was a bad example, but little kids explain things in a way that is so simple that it really makes you go, 'Woah, I think that too.' I like little kids for that reason.
Log in to replyRuby your entry made me well up with tears. Saigon sounds super! Your story makes me feel like my job is a little less crummy and maybe some kids ARE ok.
Log in to replyThis is literally my life…can we be best friends and figure this "normal" shit out together?
Log in to replyNaomi: I've never even considered what life will be like for me once I'm "normal" and recovered from anxiety, depression, etc. Your diary really made me think about it. I'm a little scared and a little excited… I wonder how much of me comes from my problems and how much of me is just me.
Log in to replyNaomi-
"Recovering" or getting "better" is indeed a weird feeling. When I was faced with the pangs of emptiness that depression used to fill, I didn't know if being attached to my depression made me some kind of sick person or if it was a normal part of the process. I guess people who suffer from a mental illness for a long period of time really do become comfortable with it since for a while that is all they knew. That's how it was for me at least.
However, my way of coping with the change was embracing it and finding ways that my happiness could contribute to my craziness!! When I was depressed I would occupy my time sulking and sleeping and isolating (nothing productive.) Now, i have all of this new motivation and channel the positive feelings, that I'm still getting used to, into new projects and ideas. For example, I hadn't picked up my guitar for years! And now there isn't a day that I don't play it. I even started writing my own songs. So basically try to take advantage of these new good feelings.
I was also scared that being "happy" would make me like everyone else BUT it doesn't! I was looking over the fact that I'll NEVER be like those other normal girls, ever! And neither will you!(: Feeling good only allows you to enjoy the weirdness inside.
I hope this helps. Thinking about my "recovery" in this way helped me cope. I hope it helps you.

I find myself looking forward to Ruby's diary entry every Wednesday <3
Log in to replyNaomi, ya it totally gets at we people try to reassure me "you're not defined by your disorder, it's chemical! it's social!….ect." but how can i not when everything i do is dependent on it? I am more than than a disorder and more complicated but my mental health is a huge part of me, even in "recovery".
Log in to replysaigon sounds awesome! babysitting is rough and kind of depressing when all kids want to do is watch tv or play video games. hurray for the saigons of the world and for imagination! :D
this "getting to dumb is hard work" business makes me think of my ballet classes. there was a long, hard stretch between being completely terrible and now just mediocre, but it sure feels good to be mediocre now. a step up!
Log in to replyThis was beautiful. Hang in there, Ruby!
Log in to replyI love all of this, every single one of these is wonderful and sweet. Saigon reminds me of a little girl I babysit for. She asked me why I was sad after my friend Austin died. I said it was because I couldn't see him anymore. I told her I wanted to talk to him, and she said "I like to talk to my mormor (Grandma) when she isn't here. I talk to her on my phone, and I know she gets to hear me". She then handed me the phone and left the room, leaving me to talk to Austin. I found her outside, paging through a book, pretending to read. She looked up and said, "did you talk?" I said yes. She said "did he answer?" and I began crying and said no. She climbed in my lap and just let me cry. There's something about children.
Log in to replywoah, man, that kid did something really special right there.
Log in to reply@Naomi
This is all completely how I feel. I never really saw myself overcoming it and now that kind of terrifies me even more. Is there any end? That sounds a little dramatic but this seems like the only place where I can ask these questions. Does anyone else feel like you're the only one who sees the world in a certain way? What's it like to have that change?
I understand where you are coming from. I had longed for normalcy or a break from my anxiety and now I feel I am in a good place. Being normal or healthy was really strange at first and i did feel a loss of identity, but in time i began to realize how much of myself I have developed after becoming more 'normal.' Not worrying all the time has opened up so many more doors and opportunities to develop/express the not so normal parts of me. Instead of working about the grade, I take risks on my essays and enjoy learning. Instead of avoiding people, I make connections. Instead of staying inside, I go to house shows. Instead of worrying about being too weird, I wear face jewels and fake ponytails haha. There are so many abnormal aspects of me that developed after I became 'normal'. I don't know exactly what you are going through, but i think you'll realize in time, that being 'normal' or as i like to call 'healthy' will ultimately lead to you finding so much more about yourself because some of that energy can be put somewhere else. How that helps :) you are amazing by the way :)
Log in to replyNaomi: I absolutely totally completely know what you mean. I've been dealing with the same thing. The most helpful thing I've figured out so far is that it doesn't really MATTER that I find out the answer to that question rightthissecond (who am I?). What matters a lot more is asking instead: who do I WANT to be? and then try and focus on that. It's hard, though, I know, and weird. Hugs.
Katherine: That last paragraph was so precisely what I needed to read tonight. Thank you.
Log in to replyNaomi- I completely understand where you're coming from. I'm finally (after years) getting help with my depression and sometimes I feel so lost without it. I thought that was just me and absurd and flat out WRONG. Thank you so much. :)
Log in to replyDylan, I understand where you are coming from. But I don't think that you should let your anxiety define you. Just from reading your diary entries, I know that you are not just another uni student taking a course who happened to have anxiety! You are a talented writer with her unique perpective of the world. As cliche as it sounds, I really think it's true!
Log in to reply*Naomi :)
Log in to replyOmg Naomi that is so me. I keep feeling WEIRD because this big cynical part of myself is just shrivelling up since I've started recovering from this bout of depression and I thought it meant I would have no personality. But don't worry. I find I know who I really am a lot more now, almost like I have the foundation of my personality built. It gets easier.
Log in to replyRuby- I am looking after 2 kids once a week and the girl is obsessed with playing doctor/hospital or pretending that her parents died- which really hurts me, because I lost my mother and hate hospitals.. She asks me questions like: "What happens if mumma and dadda die?" And I say: "It won't happen" And she says: "But it happened in that movie" And my response is: "Movies are not always real, sweetie. You know how Elmo has a TV with legs? Real TVs don't have legs, do they?"
Log in to replyNaomi- coming from a longer period of recovery, i can promise you that whatever you had will always be part of you. Not in the sense that you'll still have anxiety (although that might happen again too), but more that it will always be what allowed you to become who you are. You will always have a certain insight and perspective on things that people who never had anxiety etc. will never be able to get (although obviously they will have faced their own things).
And on the long term, anxiety and panic attacks have given me two very precious gifts: one is the ability/necessity to take care of myself, the other one is courage.
To keep my mind at bay i had to learn how to eat well, get enough sleep, do physical activity, no alcohol, watch for signs of bad turns in my mood and stuff like that.
And about courage, here is what I realised at some point: you are only capable of a certain amount of fear. You have already felt the most intense fear possible because of your anxiety, it doesn't get more intense than that. For me that has meant that I have been able to do things that other people are way too scared to do (travel across india alone, move to countries of which i didn't know the language and where i didn't know anybody, etc), because DUDE, I USED TO HAVE PANIC ATTACKS AND KNOW I WAS ABOUT TO DIE! Walking through my school's courtyard in the morning was like walking blindfolded along the side of a huge canyon with no one to hold my hand!! In comparison, the normal and healthy kind of anxiety that you feel when you are about to do something objectively scary, is nothing!
Ruby, I love your writing. Each entry has such good structure; each one like a little vignette. Keep it up! I'm so glad you became a diarist for rookie:)
Log in to replyNaomi, this is just what I needed to hear. I have always struggled with feeling like my diagnosis defines me, and I am starting to see now that it doesn't! This is so beautiful and true. Thank you!
Log in to replyTHANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR YOUR COMMENTS. it's really reassuring and comforting and inspiring and you've all made me feel a lot better <3
Log in to replyNaomi- Hi, I've just started going to a "normal" school as well, and sometimes I feel totally bland and washed out from all the social interactions and my own weirdnesses. It's kind of a three steps forward, one step back thing, so it's so nice reading your diary (and all the comments!) and finding out that there are so many other people getting over depression in the world. I think parents/doctors think the worst is over when you're back in education. This is pretty true but I have never been so tired in my life… Anyway, you're totally awesome and good luck!
Log in to replyNaomi, I loved your diary this week… And from my goingthroughstuff experience everything else seems different, but it's awesome to get into new things or stuff which goingthroughstuff held you back from doing but I'm really glad you wrote this piece, it's awesome, and as Isabelle said: so're you, x

UC hosts 30 Rogers Explorers |
WILLIAMSBURG, Ky. — Through the leadership program Rogers Explorers, 30 upcoming high school freshmen from across the state of Kentucky participated in science, math and physics activities at University of the Cumberlands (UC) on June 5, 6 and 7. The activities focused on projects in the three subjects using fun, challenging projects led by UC professors and designed to open the minds of the students.
"[The activities] are about getting students excited about math and science as they go into high school," said Delaney Stephens, community liaison and youth programs coordinator for The Center for Rural Development, the organization that coordinates Rogers Explorers. "They are hands-on and show how to apply math and science to the real world." During their three days at Cumberlands students enjoy a packed schedule of fun and learning. Activities included a chemistry session, where students learned how to make silly putty, slime and latex balls, and a session in a mini-planetarium, where students saw constellations, learned how to find a planet in the night sky and did "what if" math calculations as astronauts on Mars who must figure weight restrictions and travel on the planet.
The students had a videoconference with NASA and participated in a community service project, picking up trash along a road in Williamsburg. On Friday each Explorer received a diploma at a graduation ceremony attended by their parents.
Rogers Explorers is an intensive three day, two night program focusing on developing skills in leadership, technology, entrepreneurship and community service. It is developed, coordinated and supervised by The Center for Rural Development in partnership with the University of the Cumberlands, Morehead State University, Lindsey Wilson College and Eastern Kentucky University. Students from The Center's 45-county service area may apply during their eighth grade year. Only 120 students are chosen, and groups of 30 attend the program at one of the universities during the summer before their ninth grade year.
Located in Williamsburg, Ky., University of the Cumberlands is an institution of regional distinction, which currently offers four undergraduate degrees in more than 40 major fields of study; 10 pre-professional programs; ten graduate degrees distributed over eight areas, including two doctorates and seven master's degrees; certifications in education; and online programs.

The quest for the Skin Map, originally tattooed on The Man Who is Map is now in pieces and scattered across time and space in a universe of multiple realities.
But what if the true treasure isn't the map at all . . . what if the map marks something far greater? Something one world cannot contain? Those wanting to unlock that mystery are in a race to possess the secret - for good or evil.
Kit Livingstone is mastering the ability to travel through the Omniverse using ley lines and has forged a link from the Bone House, a sacred lodge made of animal bones, to the fabled Spirit Well, a place of profound power.
His friend Mina is meanwhile undercover in a Spanish monastery high in the Pyrenees, learning all she can from a monk named Brother Lazarus. Still determined to find Kit, she is beginning to experience a greater destiny than she can fathom.
Enter Cassandra Clarke. She is overseeing an archaeological dig in Arizona when a chance encounter transports her to 1950s Damascus. There, she finds herself pursued by the Seekers--members of the Zetetic Society who need her help to track down the missing Cosimo Livingstone and his grandson Kit.
And there are darker forces at work in the universe whose agents always seem to be one step ahead of the rest.
They're all desperate to gain the ultimate prize in a treasure hunt where ancient history, alternate realities, cutting edge physics, eternal mystery, and philosophy intersect. The next clue might reside at The Spirit Well.

Deficient Reporting in Avian Influenza Surveillance, Mali
Suggested citation for this article
To the Editor: In response to influenza outbreaks caused by highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) throughout western Africa as of 2006, the National Veterinary Epidemiologic Surveillance Network of Mali (EPIVET-Mali) started conducting domestic and wild bird surveillance. No HPAI outbreaks were reported to the World Organisation for Animal Health. An evaluation survey conducted in 2009 enabled identification and correction of some weaknesses in the organization and functioning of the network (1). However, no attempt was made to assess how much information on bird health in backyard poultry farms (which account for ≈95% of the total poultry population in Mali) actually reached EPIVET-Mali veterinarians and technicians. Therefore, we quantified reporting of clinical signs of avian diseases, especially those suggesting HPAI, by poultry owners in Mali.
We used a pilot-tested standardized quantitative and qualitative questionnaire to conduct face-to-face interviews in 32 randomly selected villages in the southern half of Mali (which accounts for 98% of the poultry population). In each village, we conducted interviews in 4 randomly chosen households. No eligibility criteria were used for household selection because all village households had poultry. Interviews were repeated 6 times (approximately every 3 months) during November 2009–February 2011 in the same villages and whenever possible in the same households. If it was not possible to repeat an interview in a previously interviewed household (absence of the household chief), the neighboring household was interviewed.
For each household, data were collected on number of sick and dead birds in the previous 3 months, clinical signs observed, and their notification or lack thereof to veterinary authorities. Households in which birds showed >3 of the following clinical signs (diarrhea, respiratory disorder, nervous signs, cyanosis of the combs or wattles, and mortality rate >50%) were considered as having clinical signs suggesting HPAI. The study was approved by the Direction Nationale des Services Vétérinaires and traditional authorities in all 32 villages, and oral consent was obtained from the poultry owners before interviews.
A total of 110–128 households were investigated at each study interval, depending on village accessibility and presence or absence of household chiefs (Table). We conducted 738 household investigations in 152 households (80 households were interviewed 6 times, 26 five times, 11 four times, 21 three times, 7 two times, and 7 one time). Observation of sick poultry in the 3 months before the interview was reported in 44.6% of household investigations, and observation of signs suggesting HPAI was reported in 12.2% (Table). Notification of veterinary authorities was reported in 13.5% of household investigations with sick poultry and in 17.4% of household investigations with signs suggesting HPAI (Table).
When we considered the 80 households interviewed 6 times, observation of sick poultry and signs suggesting HPAI varied over time (p = 0.043 and p = 0.018, respectively, by Cochran Q test), whereas variation over time could not be tested for notification because of an insufficient number of observations. When we considered all 738 household investigations as independent investigations, observation of sick poultry and signs suggesting HPAI varied over time (p = 0.008 and p<0.001, respectively, by χ2 test), but reporting of sick poultry did not vary over time (p = 0.06, by χ2 test). Reporting of signs of HPAI could not be tested.
These results illustrate gaps in reporting signs suggesting HPAI by backyard poultry owners. Although these signs could also be those of Newcastle disease, which is present in Mali (2), these signs should be reported because HPAI and Newcastle disease are officially targeted by EPIVET-Mali. One survey attempted to similarly quantify the level of HPAI reporting in Africa. In Kwara State in Nigeria, 56.5% of respondents indicated that they would not notify officials if they suspected HPAI in their flocks (3). Reluctance of poultry owners to comply with notification and culling obligations has also been reported in Indonesia (4). Several studies that assessed knowledge and practices of poultry workers with regard to avian influenza have been conducted in different countries, including developing countries (5,6). These studies were useful for better defining content of risk mitigation advice messages and the audience they should primarily target.
In our survey, occurrence of disease in Mali varied over time, which was expected because of the seasonal pattern of many avian diseases, especially Newcastle disease, in western Africa (7). However, reporting of sick poultry did not vary over time despite seasonality of activities in rural areas. Lack of awareness of who to report to, fatalistic attitudes toward animal diseases, and mistrust toward the government and its compensation schemes are among the major constraints affecting the likelihood of HPAI signs being reported (3,6,8). However, approaches associating socioanthropology and epidemiology have recently been developed to help solve the problem posed by deficient reporting (9).
We thank Abass Diarra, Kadiatou Diarra Sissoko, Souleymane Magassa, Idrissa Traoré, and Issa Traoré for participating in field investigations; the Laboratoire Central Vétérinaire and the Direction Nationale des Services Vétérinaires for facilitating the survey; and all poultry farmers for participating in the study.

Urban Transport 2012 18th International Conference on Urban Transport and the Environment15 - 17 May 2012 Overview & Opening AddressesThe 18th International Conference on Urban Transport and the Environment took place in La Coruña, Spain organised by the University of the West of England, represented by Professor Jim Longhurst, and Professor Carlos A Brebbia from the Wessex Institute of Technology. The meeting was opened by Jim who stressed the importance of transportation in urban areas and its related environmental and social impacts. These are topics of significant concern for policy makers in both municipal and central government departments for the development of effective and efficient urban transport systems. Urban transport systems require considerable studies to devise and then safeguard their operational use, maintenance and safety. Transportation systems produce significant environmental impact and can enhance or degrade the quality of life in urban cities. The conference proposed transportation systems that contribute to a sustainable urban environment by minimising negative impacts whilst enjoying the socio-economic and cultural development of the urban environment. Following Jim's address, Carlos A Brebbia explained the future of Wessex Institute of Technology and its aim of being a medium for the distribution of knowledge in different fields, with emphasis on those of an interdisciplinary nature. Carlos ended by inviting the participants to visit the WIT campus in the New Forest, where most of its research and publishing activities takes place. The depth and breadth of the topics covered by this Conference allowed for robust academic analysis of the complex interaction of urban transport and the environment and provided opportunity for establishing practical action strategies for resolving urban transport problems. A distinctive element of the Urban Transport and the Environment conference series is the interaction between academic and practical perspectives where theories and ideas are debated and then practical applications rigorously tested. The challenge of finding effective and efficient transport systems in urban settings remains an acute challenge with financial, political and environmental constraints limiting the ability of transport systems, planners and operators to deliver the high outcomes expected by the public.This International conference has successfully established itself as the most important annual event of its type in the urban transport world. It has always attracted a distinguished international audience and provided opportunities for academic and public discussions. The Conference series started in Southampton in 1995, continuing in Barcelona (1996); Acquasparta, Italy (1997); Lisbon (1998); Rhodes (1999); Cambridge, UK (2000); Lemnos, Greece (2001); Seville (2002); Crete (2003); Dresden (2004); The Algarve (2005); The New Forest (2006); Coimbra (2007); Malta (2008); Bologna (2009); Cyprus (2010); and Pisa (2011). The importance of all these meetings is reflected in the papers published in the corresponding volumes of the Transactions of Wessex Institute series which are archived in the eLibrary of the Institute at http://library.witpress.com/, where they are permanently and easily available to the international community. Conference TopicsThe conference series and the resulting books, presents papers covering a wide range of contemporary concerns and issues within the sphere of urban transport and the environment. Topics covered included:

Determining The Value Of Your Free Time
Unless you're a salaried employee or business owner who's expected to work excessively for the good of the company, the more hours you work usually determines how much you'll make. The prospect of working overtime or taking on a side job can be compelling, helping you save by having less time to go out and spend the money you're piling up. [More]

An ex-Target manager is suing his former employer, accusing the retailer of firing him for working during his lunch break. Ironically, he says it was retaliation for the complaints he had made about being denied uninterrupted breaks. [More]
Working Too Hard May Kill You
A new study out of the U.K. has some bad news for overachievers: Working 10-11 hours a day on a regular basis can increase your risk of heart disease by close to two-thirds. Out of a group of 6,000 civil servants, the study found 369 cases "where people suffered heart disease that caused death, had a heart attack or developed angina." [More]
Foxconn Workers In Mexico Revolt, Set Factory On Fire
Gizmodo reports, based on a story in the subscription-only El Norte, that workers in a Foxconn factory in Juarez, Mexico became enraged and set the building on fire.

Macy's Confirms It Never Did Business With Queens Sweatshop
Last week, news broke that a sweatshop in Queens, NYC was producing clothing for several large U.S. retailers, while overworking its mainly Chinese immigrant employees and cheating them out of wages. At the time, Macy's announced it was cooperating with New York's Department of Labor and investigating the matter internally. Now the company has confirmed that it never did business with the sweatshop—in fact, it investigated it twice in 2007 while evaluating potential suppliers and rejected it for shoddy record keeping. Use your crazy Macy's coupons all you want, readers.

In post-debate chatter, many talking heads and tapping fingers have noted that McCain didn't "take the opportunity" to attack Obama face to face over the now-prime issues of his campaign: that he sleeps with terrorists, hates America, and disrespects our troops. The righties say McPOW is too nice or he blew it, or some combination of the above; the lefties say he didn't have the guts.
I think the reason is very clear: he didn't want to give Obama an opportunity, on national television, to refute -- which McCain knows he could have done easily and eloquently -- those smears. He'd much rather be able to continue to use them.
His "failure" to raise the issues was nothing of the sort. It was part and parcel of his cynical, desperate, and extremely revealing campaign. The only amazing thing about it is that there are those, Broderites, who continue to argue that the "real" McCain, the decent hero, hates doing this, and that's why he seems so angry. Bullshit. The real McCain IS angry, all the time. The real McCain is the guy we see now, stripped of his carefully crafted and credulously continued (by the press) disguise. "Stealth candidate?" Now we know who.

Sid: did you see? I've been looking all through the paper and the online news, and the only reference I've found so far is the comments from the audience: didn't the reporters SEE? Why isn't the photo splashed all over the place?
After the debate, the men were working the crowd, shaking hands, chatting briefly, when they suddenly found themselves next to each other. Obama reached out with a warm smile to shake his colleague's hand. The debate had been over for several minutes, and McCain must have thought the cameras were off: he stood there stone-faced, refusing utterly. Cindy McCain finally shook Obama's hand to cover her husband's gaffe.
I would not want to have been her going home with him that night. - October 8, 2008 at 10:28 AM

I have seen it. It's also apparently true, though, that they did shake hands immediately at the conclusion of the debate, before that incident.

Thank you--I did see that video later in the day. That's the CNN video; I was watching the debate via MSNBC, and the camera angle they were showing just then was completely different from CNN's. You couldn't see that McCain had gestured towards Obama and his wife--I'm glad to see that he at least did that rather than holding his arm still. It wasn't quite so severely rude as it seemed earlier.
But still, he did step back away from Obama when Obama tried to shake his hand this particular time, and gestured at Cindy to do it instead. - October 9, 2008 at 12:10 AM

Want to read some revealing stuff about Mr. McCain? The latest issue of Rolling Stone has a substantial piece. If only half of it is true, and I think a good bit more than that is true, McCain should not even be running for a local school board.

Everytime I think he's reached a new low and there's no way I have muster further loathing and contempt for him, he shows new ways to make me more incredulous. Why isn't the stuff Rolling Stone article in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, MSNBC, etc?

Sanofi also listed the side-effects as headache, rash, fever, nausea, flushing, hives, and chills, leaving out the deaths reported in the clinical trials.
I also was very wary when I read the study and they were touting the drug as being able to prevent disability outright. It was even reported that it may reverse brain damage from MS. Nothing short of a miracle, right? Or a selling point worthy of $20.1 billion?

Men Unwilling to Give Up Real Sex for Internet Sex
Of course men would be willing to give up the internet for sex. The primary use of the internet is masturbation, so if you're having sex, you don't really need the internet. How is it that CNN overlooked this fact? At least they included this hilariously photo.

Recently, HUD published a notice seeking public comments on "ways to improve the efficiency and effectiveness" of FHA's quality assurance process (QAP). In the notice, HUD explains that it is seeking to enhance its oversight of FHA single-family lenders by evaluating single family quality assurance alternatives that would better align with FHA's mission. Specifically, HUD aims to ensure that it maintains and improves a quality assurance framework that (i) does not hinder or dissuade lending to FHA-targeted populations; (ii) enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of the QAP; (iii) ensures compensation to FHA for defects resulting from the lender manufacturing process; and (iv) applies fairly to all lenders. In addition, HUD also endeavors to establish a framework that ensures that loans are reviewed within a reasonable time period, post-endorsement; in order to allow FHA to use loan quality findings to improve credit policy and to allow lenders to improve their FHA origination practices. HUD particularly seeks public comments on (i) the types of loan manufacturing or compliance defects found in the QAP that should be subject to indemnification or other administrative remedies or a combination of responses; (ii) how the FHA's review and comparison of early defaults and claims may achieve an improved assessment of a mortgagee's performance – for example, HUD is considering establishing a specific standard of defaults and claims which mortgagees should not exceed within a given construct; (iii) whether FHA should establish a threshold manufacturing (or loan deficiency) risk tolerance; and (iv) whether FHA should establish a process to review a statistically significant random sample of loans for each mortgagee within a prescribed time frame after loan endorsement to estimate defect rates. Comments on the potential changes are due by September 9, 2013.

For the past 4 years the Dublin International Film Festival has brought a little bit of its programme to hospitals and care centres, that would otherwise not be able to participate in the festival's 11 day celebration of cinema in the city.
This year saw the inclusion of seven fantastic films from our shorts programme with Jordanne (Zak Ravi), Big Bird (Jan Boon), Cead Ghra (Brian Deane), An Ode to Love (Matthew Darragh), Rockmount (Dave Tynan), How I Didn't Become a Piano Player (Tommaso Pitta) and the Oscar-Nominated and DIFF's Audience Award-Winning Boogaloo & Graham (Michael Lennox).
Picture House, is one of the hidden gems of the festival and brings art and vitality to spaces and audiences outside of city life. It's a celebration of creativity and participation and one of the highlights of DIFF. We are humbled that audiences new and old attend the festival every year so we can continue to grow and nurture project's like Picture House, with your patronage.
When customers bought tickets to the festival many opted to make a voluntary donation. That donation funds the vibrant parts of the festival where we don't charge a box office, such as the Picture House programme. Thank you sincerely to all who helped make this happen.
A huge part of the outreach programme has been the participation of of Oscar-Winning Irish Actress (My Left Foot), Brenda Fricker, as the programme's patron. Brenda, is a generous supporter of the project and has been involved with it since it's inception:
Picture House is… hands down… one of the brightest things about this festival. I've seen it make the people we bring it to laugh, cry and remember. It engages them in a get together otherwise beyond their reach. I am complimented to be a close part of something that is so vital to a marginalised segment of our society.
This year we worked with seven lovely venues, dedicated to bringing this project to life. These venues brought more to the project than we could've expected by giving of their own resources and creativity, generating awareness and not to mention, providing popcorn and (in once instance) an ice-cream van! All thanks to the collaboration of the wonderful staff from:
- Cairdeas Day Care Centre
- St Patrick's Mental Health Services
- St Luke's Hospital
- St Mary's, Phoenix Park
- Mater Private Hospital
- Post Acute Care Services, Mater Misericordiae University Hospital, located in Fairview Community Unit
- Raheny Community Nursing Unit, under the management of Beaumont Hospital
It is invigorating to see the engagement of the Picture House audiences with the programme and hear the reactions of long term patients and services users. A lot of them haven't visited a cinema in years it can transform what has become for some people temporary and permanent homes, into a new space with a little bit of that movie magic that we know and love.
We look forward to building Picture House over the years to come with support from our collaborators and you, the audience.

Applying Foreign Law Under the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border InsolvencyLook Chan HoFreshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP 2009 Butterworths Journal of International Banking and Financial Law, Vol. 24, p. 655, 2009 Abstract: The UK Cross-Border Insolvency Regulations 2006 (CBIR) permits discretionary relief in the form of applying foreign insolvency law.

Holy crap LOL
Yea that's just natural though lol...As long as it doesn't get in the way of the life you want/are trying to live,then I'd say nah not at all.
